Download or read book Extraordinary Furniture written by David Linley and published by Harry N. Abrams. This book was released on 1996-09-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extraordinary Furniture presents some of the world's most opulent, inventive, skillfully made, and unusual pieces of furniture. Author David Linley has compiled a magnificent array of objects that span the history of furniture design and craftsmanship, from the medieval period to the present day. Viscount Linley, son of England's Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon and nephew of Queen Elizabeth II, is a furniture maker and designer of international renown. He introduces the book with an essay on the strong connection between handcrafted furniture and the people who have commissioned, designed, owned, and loved it, and discusses the influence of earlier designers on his own work. Five lavishly illustrated chapters divide the furniture according to the feature that makes each piece extraordinary: extravagance, design, craftsmanship, mechanical complexity, or eccentricity. Organized chronologically to highlight the evolution of styles and manufacture, each chapter offers a series of thought-provoking combinations: the gilded elegance of Empress Josephine's bed forms a striking contrast to the purity of Shaker work; both illustrate extraordinary design. The superb photographs show the pieces in full and in close-up details, and often in their original settings. Many are from England's Royal Collection, a superb assemblage of rare and exceptional furniture. Other works are from important European and American sources, including the noted contemporary furniture designer Wendell Castle. A listing of the houses, castles, and museums where some of the furniture can be seen by the public adds to the book's value.

Download or read book Richard Riemerschmid's Extraordinary Living Things written by Freyja Hartzell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Richard Riemerschmid’s designs of everyday—but “extraordinary”—objects recalibrate our understanding of modernism. At the beginning of the twentieth century, German artist Richard Riemerschmid (1868–1957) was known as a symbolist painter and, by the advent of World War I, had become an important modern architect. This, however, the first English-language book on Riemerschmid, celebrates his understudied legacy as a designer of everyday objects—furniture, tableware, clothing—that were imbued with an extraordinary sense of vitality and even personality. Freyja Hartzell makes a case for the importance of Riemerschmid's designed objects in the development of modern design—and for the power of everyday things to change the way we live our lives, understand history, and design our future. Hartzell offers for the first time an interpretive history of Riemerschmid's design practice embedded in a fresh examination of modernism told by the objects themselves. Hartzell explores Riemerschmid's early drawings, paintings, and prints; his interiors and housewares, which represent a modernist shift from exclusive image to accessible object; his designs for women's clothing; his immensely popular wooden furniture; his serially produced ceramics and their appeal to German nationalism of the period; and his complex and compelling pattern designs for textiles and wallpapers, the only part of his creative practice that spanned his entire career. Riemerschmid, Hartzell writes, was at his most inventive, playful, and free when designing things for everyday use. His uniquely designed forms allow us to recognize the utilitarian object not just as a tool but as an individual being—a thing with a soul.
